A member asked:

Could fludrocortisone cause reflex bradycardia if blood volume increases too much increasing central pressures?

Theoretically: It is possible that you could get reflex bradycardia from volume increase but the amount of volume required to trigger this reflex would not be achievable with florinef (fludrocortisone) alone. Bradycardia is a common response in dysautonomia which florinef (fludrocortisone) is used for in treatment. I suspect the reflex bradycardia is actually the physiologic response from dysautonomia not volume overload.
